I wish I too had more dollars than sense.

Yeah, I realize 150 grand to him is likely $150 to you and me, but you could do a lot of good with that money rather than setting it on fire.

I see his name all the time, and I am really not clear on who exactly he is or why I should care.

150 grand allow me to pay off 2 kids college debt and get me part of the way to a vacation home or a Porsche 911.

Hell, 300 would set me up to be able to retire. Like, pretty much now.

Retirement is five years away for me and my current employer has a pre-retirement plan where you can drop down to a three day work week two years prior to retirement (of course my pay is also decreased to match my weekly work hours). I'm thinking I'm going to utilize that plan.

I find it funny that a lot of Oilers fans are mad at Holland for not putting Kane on LTIR and trying to game the system.

i can't actually blame them with the way Vegas and TB get away with it. I hate it but if they keep getting away with it so we all should.

The number of trips I have made around the sun have been greatly exaggerated

/Also, congrats. Today has been one of those days when retirement is looking damn appealing.

Last playoff series the Kings won was against tge New York Rangers.

I wouldn’t be too worried if I was the Oilers.

That Hyman kid sure has a nose for the net.

 

[mattola]

Oilers have 2 fucking players . That's fucking it

 

[esls79]

That was sort of pretty.

That Hyman kid sure has a nose for the net.

That was a thing of beauty from McJesus

Can you challenge for a missed whistle on that? Skinner's helmet was off.

I was watching an interview with Zach Werenski and they showed UMich highlights. That last team up there for Zach had Larkin, Kyle Connor, Hyman, JT Compher and Tyler Motte on it.

Crazy for a US college to have that kind of firepower. Even crazier when you see what the last few teams have had. KJ, Luke Hughes, Beniers, Power, Cam York

 

[dash]

How was that not a penalty? Ekholm dove at Arvidsson's knee

This is going to be a long series with Singh and DeBrusk on the broadcast.

It’ll be a quick 4 games.

The Kings are trash and their system is even worse.
